It is compatible with frequencies in the 5G Sub6 band—meaning signals that are less than 6 gigahertz (GHz). Sub6 antennas represent critical portions of a 5G deployment, as their lower frequency ranges penetrate barriers like walls and buildings better than the substantially higher-bandwidth millimeter-wave portions of the 5G spectrum.

I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.

Tesla deletes its blog post stating all cars have self-driving hardware in c/avs

[–] voidx 2 points 1 month ago

They do have option for FSD transfers already. Looks like their vision model is getting complex to optimise for HW3 so HW4 would definitely help. But there's still no guarantee FSD on HW4 will work flawlessly, and how much "Elon time" it's gonna take to get there.

Probably means the solutions to plastic crap are wild/crazy/unconventional ideas implying "loony".

Will this new system only work with Zeekr, or their existing Jaguar vehicles as well?

High School Starts Replacing Teachers With AI in c/futurology

[–] voidx 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right? AI chatbots are so bad with hallucinations. As a programmer I can usually spot the inaccurate code chatbot is spewing, but these kids won't be able to spot the inaccuracy unless there's very strict quality control..which would require human teachers anyway.

Waymo’s Robotaxi Rollout is a Landmark Moment for Driverless Cars in c/avs

[–] voidx 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes that's true. They still map out every intersection, sign, signals etc. Probably it's much safer for a L4 system to have HD maps when compared to a L2 driver-assist.

Global IT outage hits companies around the world as planes grounded and train services affected in c/futurology

[–] voidx 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The fix doesn't help much for already affected systems, as they're even unable to boot. Only workaround is to manually delete the files in safe mode for every system one by one, which is even more difficult if it's bitlocker protected.

Absolutely crazy that they managed to screw up this bad.
